    Changed Stock On My Savage MKII-FVT

    Well, here it is. I call it, "From crap to that." Wasn't overly happy with the synthetic stock this rifle came with some years back, and I've been wanting to change it to a laminated stock. I saw Numrich had a Savage MKII-LR (for the .17HM2) stock for $60.00, and figured that since the .17HM2...

    Anyone getting bad .22 ammo over the last year?

    I shot 40 rounds of Federal Automatch yesterday, and did have two ftf, but I reloaded them in the Marlin 925 magazine and they went off just fine. Not saying this is the way it should be - because it shouldn't. As far as reading posts about this ammo at times being under powered, I didn't...

    Yet another "which rifle" thread - looking for a great 22lr factory rifle

    Thanks for the explanation, DFOOSKING. I recognized the rings and just figured they were capped with concrete below that ridge sticking up. Know what you mean about some people destroying and leaving messes on the local range. Our club finally had to take serious steps to ask our local...

    Now that is quiet! I like the idea of using filled in tank rings to make shooting rest.

    brick ammo prices

    I would not be surprised to wake up some day and find the same thing enacted here in the USA. This would not surprise me at all.

    brick ammo prices

    Federal Champion (510B I'm guessing), $24.00 for 550 rounds,,, I'd do that. My Marlins love this stuff. I wouldn't pay $48.00 for 550. I'd add a few dollars to the $48.00 and get a brick of better quality ammo.

    "Smallbore F-Class'" coming soon per NRA!!!

    I've read this blog before, and it's interesting. I don't know why we don't give this format (on this blog) a try here at Sniper's Hide, in a monthly (or quarterly) F Class Rimfire Match. I bet it would be fun.

    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    All the rumors and speculation that has cropped up over this whole ammo shortage (some factual, and some down right off the wall), has just helped to creating and continue this whole ammo shortage. The ammo manufactures will make a ton of money off the paranoid minded people out there in this...

    Savage MKII LV 22lr / 17 HM2

    I ordered this Savage stock (MKII LV 22lr / 17 HM2) from Numrich today to replace the synthetic stock on my Savage MKII FVT 22lr. I wanted just a basic stock that wouldn't break the bank (so to speak), and if I have to do some modifications on this thing it's no big deal. The price was right...

    Looks like a lot of fun. What is the facing board made of?

    "Smallbore F-Class'" coming soon per NRA!!!

    I would hope they'd make room for the 200 yard SB COF in the F Class. Just my opinion.

    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    Look at the ammo shortage this way. We have basically doubled in the USA the number of gun owners in the last 6 years. This means less ammo for those who have been in the gun sports prior to this shortage and the doubling of gun owners. Manufacturer's can't meet the supply in demand and are...

    any fun .22 games?

    Cory, we shoot poker chips also and just use small pieces of double sided sticky tape to hold them on cardboard. I agree, plastic Army men are fun. Good ideas being posted here.

    As much as I'd enjoy watching, I'll probably miss it. I'll be in bed. However, I noticed on youtube that they show old clips of 'em, and I do catch those every once in a while.

    CCI 22lr

    Way to high a price. I'm with Joe, Justin, and 3Wide on this. I can get this and other comparable .22lr at a way better price. These folks (Luckygunner and Cheaper than Dirt) are gouging!!! They'll never see one penny from me.

    Marlin 880 SQ Range Report

    First thing came to mind was you need a trigger job. Marlins can be made to shoot tight groups, though I would first do a step by step approach. Get rid of that heavy trigger pull (I'll try to find the link and post it for the repair / spring replacement), and go through the steps of finding...

    New FVSR accuracy issue?

    What I do is run a bore snake, then take a q-tip and clean any residue from around the breech of the chamber so as there is no wax or fouling build up from previous ammo as the new ammo is introduced to the chamber.

    New FVSR accuracy issue?

    You should see a marked difference in the better ammo you picked up from Bruno. Clean your barrel before testing this new ammo. Where as stock work and/or even a new stock, may or will need tweaking, the SKS or Wolf you have coming should provide you with a better picture of what your rifle is...
